Cloudy golden. Big, white head. Overripe tropical fruits, stone fruit, melon, malt, and lactose in the aroma. Smooth, with moderate hoppy bitterness.

Pretty solid NEIPA. Thr only drawback for me was the imperial. Hide the abv fsirly well but for me the double or triple octane drops this one down a few pegs for me.

Poured chilled from a can dated 2/20/25 into a 16oz pint glass. Appearance is hazy pale gold, looks like a glass of grapefruit juice. Decent foamy head that sticks around with fair amount of lacing on the glass.
Aroma is reflective of the galaxy hops used....peach, some citrusy notes also evident. Light pine fragrance being detected.
Taste follows the nose with a burst of fruit flavors....peach, grapefruit, passionfruit, some distant pine.
Mouthfeel is fuller side of medium. Creamy mouthfeel, sweet juice forward with suble balancing bitterness on the back. Smoooooth.
Overall another well-crafter brew from the Other Half Brewery. Nicely balanced, juicy, flavorful, delicious. Could drink this all year.

 

De OkassionalBeer. en copa Teku. Jugando a Uncharted 3 y Alex Kidd in Miracle World. Con almendras naturales. Perfil vegetal con alguna nota citrica y bastante cremosidad que han conseguido que resulte de lo más agradable a pesar de que esas notas vegetales no suelan gustarme en otros casos

 

Very nice brew. Pour is a light golden haze and has a pretty strong pineapple grapefruit aroma but doesn’t taste overwhelmingly sour or sweet. Really good summer brew with a smooth flavor and no aftertaste.

Poured from 16oz can into a dimpled mug. Canned 4/1/24.

Appearance: medium yellow hue with a rich haze and a thick head of pillowy ivory foam with good retention. Pretty!

Smell: sweet, with a nicely grassy and slightly tropical hop aroma. There's a bit of pineapple coming through; I like it.

Taste: quite tropical in the aroma, with plenty of passionfruit and a chunk of pineapple flavor. There's definitely a juicy dankness going on that I really like. It's not entirely without bitterness, although the bitterness is low relative to the sweetness. A really good beer!

Mouthfeel: medium body with a good carbonation and a really smooth, lovely creaminess. Definitely into it.

Overall: a darn solid hazy DIPA.

 

 

Can from Merchants, Feb 2024

 

Cloudy in a milkshake way. Whitish gold color. Moderate sized head which leaves some blanketing lace.

The smell is repulsive to me--it's a combination rotting carion and old fish.

The taste is a dramatic improvement. This beer is a hop-laden offering with very little malt outside of the very first sip. Above average body with a higher carbonation level. The hop dominates but doesn't overwhelm. Dry overall with a bit of apricot in the background.
